make a list of objects. sort it. make a list of pointers using the list
of objects. you end up with two parallel lists, sorted by object. One
list is of pointers to objects, another of objects. not efficient, but
it should work. you can then discard the list of objects and keep the
list of pointers to sorted objects.
